Book Overview
The New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of the Coldwater Cove and Shelter Bay series crafts an emotionally powerful tale of a workaholic lawyer struggling with her unconventional family while also longing for a passionate love of her own. Fighting legal battles eighty hours a week has left Raine Cantrell burned out and empty. Although she once dreamed that success might make the father who walked away without a backward glance take notice, the high-power big city lawyer now finds herself feeling very alone. Then she gets an urgent call from three kids in trouble in her Washington state hometown, and suddenly Raine is returning to face unresolved feelings, unhealed wounds--and an unexpected desire. Sheriff Jack O'Halloran, a man with tragedy in his past and a six-year-old daughter to raise alone, has three teens barricaded inside a house and the media clamoring for a story. He isn't ready for Raine to invade his territory--or his thoughts. And Raine isn't ready for anyone to touch her heart. Unable to deny their attraction to each other, their solution is adult, reasonable--and totally foolish. They decide to have a simple affair. But they are about to discover that love is rarely simple--and that lives can change forever in a single heartbeat. "Few storytellers have JoAnn Ross's magical touch for creating warm and memorable characters whose lives you delight in visiting. Like cherished silver, Homeplace just shines" (RT Book Reviews).

The characters were great as well as the story. I especially liked Jack. He was written to be so sweet and sexy how could I not like him. I will definely read Far Harbor when it comes out.

I just loved this book -- it's a page-turner with a heart of pure gold. How can you not love Raine, trying to deal with her family and falling helplessly for the incredibly sexy Jack. This was a one-sitting read for me...too bad about that dinner I never fixed. :-)

This is a absolute MUST read for anyone who enjoys romance because there's nothing sexier than a man with a Nano-kitty! JoAnn Ross has an unsurpassed talent for touching the heart and I have Far Harbor, her next book, in red ink on my computer. Write faster, JoAnn!

High priced New York attorney Raine Cantrell desires full partnership in her law firm. However, a family emergency forces the reluctant Raine to return to her hometown of Coldwater Cove, Washington. Even then, if it did not involve her beloved grandmother she would not go. When she arrives home, she finds her grandmother has been hospitalized. The woman's three foster children are barricaded in the family home so that family services cannot remove them. Finally, her mother is in jail for arson while practicing some pagan rituals in the nude. By the time Raine straightens out everything, Raine remains in town waiting for the judge to evaluate the foster care situation. The senior partners at her law firm inform her she is losing her competitive edge over other associates for the next seat on the board. She also finds herself attracted to Sheriff Jack O'Hallorhan, a widower with a precocious little daughter. Raine must decide between her love for her family and the law enforcement official and her desire to be big city law partner. HOMEPLACE is a wonderful love story and family drama that warms the heart and soul while inspiring the readers. JoAnn Ross surpasses even her high level of quality with a complex and believable tale of choices. The subplots and the supporting characters add a rich texture to a novel that is sure to be dubbed one of the special books of the year.Harriet Klausner
